The Royal Shakespeare Company has staged all of Shakespeare's plays. The following comprehensive listing runs from the foundation of the company in 1960 to the conclusion of the Complete Works Festival in 2007. For each play, there is also a link to the RSC online archive of production photographs and related resources.

KEY: listings give year of opening, theatre building, name of director(s), designer, other key artists (e.g. lighting, music), and cast list of actors in substantial parts.
Aldwych – proscenium-arch theatre in London's West End that was chief home for RSC productions in the capital from the early 1960s to early 1980s.
Barbican – theatre in arts complex in the city district of London, designed with the RSC in mind and their London base from 1982-2002, when vacated because of its distance from the centre of theatrical life in the capital and a dislike of the space on the part of directors and actors.
Courtyard – temporary theatre, with open thrust stage like that of the Swan, but much larger audience capacity (over 1000); principal home to the RSC during period of Complete Works Festival and subsequent closure of RST for redevelopment (summer 2006 to summer 2010).
Pit – intimate studio theatre in basement of Barbican, used for London transfers of small-scale work.
RST – Royal Shakespeare Theatre, the RSC's main home in Stratford-upon-Avon, large proscenium-arch theatre built in the 1930s and used until closed for redevelopment in April 2007. Audience capacity about 1300.
Swan – medium-size indoor theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, with open thrust stage, based on the principles of the Elizabethan courtyard theatre for which Shakespeare wrote. Audience capacity about 550, creating strong sense of intimacy that makes it a space much loved by both actors and audiences.
Theatregoround – project to bring small-scale work to schools audiences
TOP – The Other Place, very intimate studio theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, for experimental work, with maximum audience capacity of about 150.
Various other transfers (e.g. to other London theatres such as the Gielgud, Haymarket, Novello and Roundhouse, and international venues) are also indicated.
